[Game] Kings @ Thunder, 2/28/2022 5pm Pacific 8pm Eastern

[Tetsujin]

Would be nice if the Kings managed to hold OKC to something less than 80% from the field.

 

[Tetsujin]

Who needs Jabari Smith when you’ve already got Trey Lyles?

 

[SacTownKid]

I don't get how they don't just go full tilt on switching. They blitz, double, and give up wide open shots every time, lol.

 

[Fantazija]

Lots of offense. Defense not so much

 

[Capt. Factorial]

We've played entire quarters with fewer passes than that possession.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Wait, so you're telling me that they had all that great ball movement, and their out of bounds play was a Lamb iso?

 

[SacTownKid]

Not a big fan of Sabonis being used like this. He's super efficient at what he does, but as an offensive scoring talent, he's not Cuz. Don't use him like that.

 

[SLAB]

That post deadline high is long gone. Lol

 

[Fantazija]

Why is nobody cutting. When DS is double teams under the basket.

Counterpoint: who else is supposed to score, in this lineup?

That's on him. If he's making a baseline move like that he has to get it up.

Domas makes as many How the hell did he see that? passes as Haliburton did except he’s a 6’10” big man.

Yeah, Gentry needs to use Barnes a little better in this case. Other than that, run pick and roll, pick and roll, pick and roll, and pick and roll. As soon as the double comes in the post, dish it back out.

 

[OldSchoolKingsFan]

Print “NFT” on the ball and watch Fox swipe it!

 

[Tetsujin]

Domas with three fouls again

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Domas with three fouls again

We need to make him up a "Jokic" jersey. Might need to shave the beard.

 

[Tetsujin]

Refs seem more interested in winning this game than either of these teams.

 

[SacTownKid]

The good news is Fox has done nothing, and this isn't out of hand yet, but he better show up quick.

 

[Tetsujin]

Hard for anyone to get into a rhythm when the refs are blowing the whistle every possession.

 

[Tetsujin]

I don’t care if these whistles are in our favor or not. At this rate, this game won’t be over til 10.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Hard for anyone to get into a rhythm when the refs are blowing the whistle every possession.

24 fouls called with 7 minutes left in the half.

 

[Tetsujin]

It’s like the refs saw Embiid get 27 free throws last night and decided they wanted to come up with reffing that’s even more preposterous.

 

[iowamcnabb]

does Krejci have a tattoo of that magical wolves shirt from years ago?

 

[Tetsujin]

Both teams are already in the bonus and there’s still half a quarter left lol

 

[EIM86]

This game is beginning to get comical

 

[Tetsujin]

This is possibly the least entertaining quarter of basketball I’ve ever seen

 

[ESP47]

Love all these whistles.

Thanks for the great product NBA.

 

[SacTownKid]

Good to see Barnes starting to take it over.

 

[gunks]

Who's been on SGA, Fox?

 

[iowamcnabb]

Poku looks a lot better. That isn't saying much considering how awful he was last year, but he has some real potential.
